Abstract: Techniques and configurations for an apparatus for projecting a light pattern on an object are described. In one embodiment, the apparatus may include a laser arrangement configured to generate a laser line, a tiltable micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) mirror configured to tiltably reflect the laser line, and a controller configured to control tilting of the MEMS mirror to enable the reflected laser line to project a light pattern on the object. The controller may be configured to control the MEMS mirror with a tilting frequency that is complementary to an optical power of the laser line, or to control the optical power of the laser line to be complementary to the tilting frequency of the MEMS mirror.

Abstract: A projector illuminates an object, within the field of view of a camera, with a sequence of code patterns. The camera captures the illuminated object and provides object images to a decoder to convert the code patterns into code. A transition locator locates discontinuities in the code pattern images. A dequantizer reconstructs a range image from those discontinuities and said code.

Abstract: In a time-multiplexed structured (coded) light camera, the coded light patterns are formed by means of an array of laser sources, and binarizations of the light patterns are performed by computing the dark and bright frames from the code patterns themselves.

Abstract: A system and method for targeted advertisement that includes embedding the content of the advertisement with the existing displayed content, which is optionally and more preferably broadcast video content. For example, the present invention relates to embedding advertising content within broadcast video content displayed on television screens. The system features a receiver that is connected to the video input and video output of the television set and can inject advertisements to the display. The advertisements are optionally selected according to a bidding algorithm that is preferably performed by an external server or other remote device; however, it is also possible that they are selected according to a different, non-bidding mechanism. The advertiser and/or the owner of the resource displaying the advertisement may optionally select or request the advertisement for display.
